Some good memories are tied to this album and I’ll the album is definitely one I love sharing. This album has a lot of nostalgia attached to it, for me. Getting a Glimpse of Kid Cudi’s Many Ventures Apart from his music, the 37-year-old has also made some strides in fashion and the sphere of film. Rager, but put that story aside for his next several albums, save 2014’s Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother. Kanye West, Common, MGMT, and Ratatat all bring something special to the table and round this album out. Since the release of his debut studio album entitled Man on the Moon: The End of Day, in 2009, he has shown to be very successful in lanes outside of music as well. Cudi followed that up the next year with Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. He also collaborates with some really rad musicians. His simple lyrical style gives us a peek into his darkest nightmares and they reflect our own deepest as well. His personal struggles are something we can relate to and his lyrics show this. The songs that are structured like traditional rock songs absolutely kick ass. Narrated by Common in 'bedtime story' format, End Of Day seemed like a concept that sounded good after multiple tokes of the good stuff. For hip-hop and even blog this is groundbreaking, but after 6 songs of this it got downright annoying. Having choruses in a hip hop album is something strange in itself but Kid Cudi performs it masterfully. His latest album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day Talk about fear, paranoia, and the usual. Some songs, like “Soundtrack to My Life”, showcase his ability to rap while also throwing in a catchy chorus. His ability to rap and sing and do something in between is the highlight of the album. His solemn, humble, tone creates an entire atmospheric album that not only tells us a story of what’s inside his mind but paints a tonal picture of what it would be if his feelings were translated into music. Dancing on the line of so many genres Cudi was able to bring his story to so many youth at the time, including myself. Kid Cudi’s first album is something truly magical. Our pick this week is from a Cleveland born kid named Scott Mescudi although most of his fans know him by his stage name, Kid Cudi.
